Job losses likely at VW as the people’s car brand becomes uncompetitive - Lemmy.World

Imagine that. Get a reputation for cars that are precisely engineered to have expensive parts fail shortly after warranty expiration, and cement that with a brand-wide emissions cheating scandal, and then wonder why no one trusts you.

Boomers only bought your air-cooled offerings because they were cheap. You got no brand goodwill out of the deal.

To be fair, didn’t it eventually come out that pretty much everyone was cheating? VW just got caught first.

At least in North America I think they were the only brand selling passenger vehicles diesel engines.
